While I was obeying my better half and doing some cleaning and discarding today, I found a container full of brass that I cleaned and deprimed at some point in the past. It is either 223 or 5.56. I suspect it is military 5.56. It is brass and boxer primed. The headstamp is as follows: In the...

I'm new to loading bottle neck rounds, but not new to hand loading. I have 62gr FMJBT for .223 Rem and three powders available,IMR 4064, TAC, and Varget. From the Lyman AR Reloading Handbook, the acceptable range for IMR-4064 is 22.0gr to 25gr, and the 25gr load is compressed. I'm thinking...

I'm looking to buy an additional vibratory tumbler. Currently I'm using a Midway 1292 that I've had for many years. Recently, I repaired the wiring on the 1292. It's working fine, but I'm thinking I'd like to have a backup machine. Also, as long as the 1292 works, I can use one unit for...

I found one at a pawn shop today, tagged at $650. I didn't get it, but I'm interested. Barrel looks pretty clean. Bluing is OK but not great, and finish has a few dings here and there. Cylinder opens and closes easily, and it appears to lock up well when hammer is cocked. Ejector star...

I've been thinking about subject revolver for a while. It would be mostly for use at the range or for small game or pests. I've searched the internet, and it appears that a Smith & Wesson Mdl 14 is about it. Does anyone currently produce a 6-inch, double action revolver in 38 Spl.? I'm...

What's your favorite load? I want to develop a self defense load for my mouse gun, Ruger LCP.

I received a 22 Hornet for Christmas. I have the Lee Collet die, Lee standard dies, and a Lyman M die. I was very fortunate to find a bag of new Winchester brass. Should I full length resize the new brass before the first loading?
